Circa has arrived!

Now that most of you have Circa in your hands, our favorite thing to do is watch you work your magic. Diamonds, hexies, fussy cutting, little dresses… watching Circa come to life is a dream! Our dear friend, Melissa P over at 100 Billion Stars, made this wondrous quilt. Soft, sweet, playful and charming.

We love what Melissa says about Circa,

“The collection brings a fresh wave of nostalgia for simpler times and days gone by; but for hard core Sis Boom fans, the collection looks back on some of Jennifer’s first fabric collections…. From initial reactions, Circa promises to be just as timeless and popular….”

Jenny from the Girls World Block

Here she is, she teaches Girls World Classes She hoards Sis Boom Fabric and keeps it in a locked box (not really) the kind of girl you totally get!!  She dresses She and her daughter from head to toe in Sis Boom. All the while she is happy happy happy.

The Sewing machine sings when the kids are at camp and now runs a sewing camp herself. We love our Jenny and so will you. Melissa P from 100billionstars who also makes darling items and is infamous for her Girls World Pin Cushion works closely with FreeSpirit and recieves  a small advance of fabric and she inturn cut up her parcel and sent to Jenny.  It doesn’t get any better. Make sure to visit her ETSY . The spirit of sharing which defines us at Sis Boom is alive and well and lives on in the wonderful customers of Sis Boom.  Paying it forward is commonplace .

One thing I will also add is that the special people who keep coming back for more Sis Boom are such a grateful bunch.  We all know gratitude is the bottom line because with out that we’d be miserable lot.  Thanks for the gratitude of  your vital spirits which help us thrive.  Oh and have fun with the suitcases be patient, try putting glue on the suitcase and pressing firmly down. The choice to go back over with mod podge is yours! just be gentle with yourself! oh how many things I attempted and never finished cause I had no patience..
